Universitario’s Title Party Plays to a Sold-Out Monumental as TV-Rights Clash Intensifies

The FPF says clubs must join 1190 Sports’ model for 2026, and Universitario pushes back citing delayed payments and pledging to evaluate its broadcast options.

Overview

  • Universitario hosts Deportivo Garcilaso on Friday, Nov. 7 at 9:00 p.m. (Peru) at the Monumental, with the match on GOLPERU and the tricampeonato trophy ceremony confirmed for after the game.
  • FPF president Agustín Lozano stated Universitario and Sport Boys “have to align” with the federation’s 1190 Sports model next season, calling it a statutory and FIFA mandate and signaling meetings to outline terms.
  • Sporting director Álvaro Barco criticized the shift away from Consorcio Fútbol Perú, warned about reported delayed payments from 1190 Sports, and said the club will assess its TV-rights path for 2026.
  • This fixture is set to be Universitario’s last home game aired by GOLPERU under the CFP deal that ends this year, with reporting indicating the club’s rights would move to 1190 Sports afterward.
  • Goalkeeper Sebastián Britos is suspended after a red card, with Miguel Vargas slated to start, as club leaders note roughly 80% of the squad is renewed for 2026 and target a stronger Libertadores run.
